Kevin Eastman Joins CGC Cards for an In-House Private Signing
Posted on 8/30/2024
CGC Cards™ is thrilled to announce that the Signature Series team will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. TMNT began as a self-published, black and white, oversized comic, and morphed (much like the turtles themselves) into a phenomenon. Its huge success led to many merchandising and multimedia deals that included games, toys, live action films, a hit television series and of course lots of trading cards.
TMNT fever took over the nation in the late 80s and early nineties and several trading card sets were created surrounding the hype of the franchise. The Topps 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Set and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 O-Pee-Chee sets were two of the most popular at the time. More recently, in 2019 Topps released the Topps Art Of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set. This set immediately became a hit with TMNT fans and it features several cards with Eastman's iconic art style. CGC Cards must receive all submissions for this event by Friday, November 8, 2024.
If the In-House Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC Cards will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.
After Eastman signs the submitted cards, CGC Cards will grade and encapsulate them with an estimated turnaround time of six weeks. After grading and encapsulation, the collectibles will be shipped back to their owners.
The CGC Cards In-House Private Signing fee for Kevin Eastman is $80 per item and includes:
- Kevin Eastman’s signature
- Estimated turnaround time of six weeks for CGC Cards grading
- Encapsulation with the CGC Signature Series label
